Mick Abel is scheduled to undergo arthroscopic surgery on his right elbow.

It’s a significant hit to Minnesota’s rotation as Abel will likely be sidelined until the later stages of the second half after Dr. Keith Meister recommended surgery following his latest setback. The 24-year-old has been out since mid-April with elbow inflammation. A more definitive timetable should emerge after the procedure, but fantasy managers shouldn’t expect him back anytime soon.
